3rd annual School Supply Event and more!

July 2019

Sometimes you just need to sit on the floor and tie friendship bracelets!

We welcome scores of first-time visitors each June when new 5th graders become eligible to visit us. 3MP can be a bit overwhelming to some of our guests who are not used to large crowds and lots of noise and excitement. So we do everything we can to help everyone feel welcome - including occasionally just plopping down on the floor and making new friends.

If you wonder what 3MP is all about, this picture of our staff member Casey creating instant craft time for a few of our newest visitors says it all!

3rd Saturday Family Fun Day

This month's Family Fun Day takes place on SATURDAY, JULY 20 from noon to 3pm.

As with all of our 3rd Saturday family events, all of our activities will be available including sports courts, movie theaters, video games, table games, gaga ball, skatepark, craft room, and our ninja arena. Our cafe will also be open for cash sales.

Admission is only $3 (ages 3 and under free). All minors must be accompanied by an adult (no drop-off of unaccompanied children).

The weather forecast is calling for blazing hot temperatures, so come and enjoy some great family time in air-conditioned comfort!

3rd Annual Walker Community
